It has been a few days now since the attack at the Academy. Currently, I am alone in the school library, knowing perfectly well, no one would consider looking for me in here. However, I knew Lissa and Dimitri would start looking for very soon, which meant I had to make this very quick. As over the last few days, they both took turns watching over me, like I would sneak off at any moment, which wasn't too far off.

I searched through the library for forms for dropping out of the Academy, which I am planning on doing as next Monday I'll legally become an adult. Therefore, no one can stop me from leaving the Academy and freeing my mother soul. As soon as I found what I was looking, I immediately left the library quickly returning back to my room, before anyone noticed I was gone. They would defiantly start getting suspicious of me.

On my way back to my dorm room, I ran into Lissa and Christian. Lissa gave me a sympathetic smile. "Hey, Rose. How are you doing?"Asked Lissa.

I rolled my eyes at her. Lately, everyone has been asking me how I was doing. They clearly knew I wasn't okay. I haven't even started a fight with someone since the attack at the Academy or spoke much. And Rose Hathaway always has something to say, which nine times out of ten leads to fighting. I knew they were just concerned for me. However, I didn't want the attention I was receiving lately. On the other hand, I didn't want to be alone right now though. Hell, even Christian has been acting strangely nice towards me, and very unsarcastic. I found it very freaky.

At the moment all I wanted is to be cuddled up in Dimitri's arms, but of course I couldn't do that. He has been on a double duty since the attack, and even when he had his free time, he rarely had time to see me properly.

Dimitri knew I was up to something. He could always tell when I was lying to him. However, I knew he too was up to something for whatever reason. I knew when he is eventually ready. He would tell me what he is hiding from me. Looking up, I finally noticed that Lissa and Christian had stopped speaking. I gave them a sheepish, guilty look and tried to make up for ignoring them, by seeing if they wanted to watch '27 Dresses.' The film 27 Dresses' is Lissa's all time favourite movie and I knew Christian and I would have a great time making fun of it. Plus, popcorn and red vines make everything better.

Later that same night as I was about to get into bed, someone knocked softly at my door.

'That better not be the matron checking on me again' I thought to myself.

I pulled back the cover, walking over the door. I swung open the door to find Dimitri and Lissa standing there. I gave them a confused look.

"You two need to talk. She doesn't know and I know it's killing to lie to her about it. Not having anyone else apart from me to talk about it."Said Dimitri.

I gave him a confused look. However, soon realized he was talking about us and he wanted me to tell Lissa. I wasn't sure why he is doing this, but I knew this certainly risky for him or at least that's what I thought anyways.

"Are you sure?" I asked him. Dimitri nodded while giving me a small smile and walked away. I felt excited, but nervous all at the same time. I knew Lissa would understand, but I knew she would be hurt that I kept a secret from her.

I explained the history of me and Dimitri, with a solution to how we could be together. As he is will ask to be assigned to another royal once we graduate. Lissa is really happy for me, but really pissed I had waited so long for me to tell her. That and the fact Dimitri practically forced to myself to tell her. A sense of relief washed over me. I was about to go find Dimitri, and have him sneak Lissa back in her dorm room. Suddenly, I felt a large surge of excitement through the bond. Looking over at Lissa, I noticed she was practically bouncing up and down.

"What's gotten you so excited, Liss?"I asked.

"I know who Dimitri needs to be assigned to after our graduation. And I know he'll like the person too!"Exclaimed Lissa.

"Who?"I asked while trying and failing to raise just one eyebrow.

"Christian. We can all be one big happy family!"Exclaimed Lissa.

"Let's see if that's okay with them first, Lissa,"I said.

I personally loved this idea of hers as this way we could all stay together, even after our graduation. Lissa continued bouncing up and down on my bed like a child. Suddenly, there was a light knock on the door. I knew immediately it was Dimitri signalling us, which meant it was now time for Lissa to return back to her dorm room.

"Well, now that'll be, Dimitri at the door. Let's continue to talk more about this tomorrow, okay?"I asked. Lissa nodded. I had no doubt she would be telling Dimitri, her great idea on her way back to her dorm room. And I'll defiantly have another visit from Dimitri whenever he gets the chance to talk.
